Pharr Community Theater set to host self-help seminar, auditions

PHARR — Despite the incoming heat wave, our local theater is staying busy.

The Pharr Community Theater is set to host a self-help seminar, as well as have auditions for an upcoming play within the next few days.

The seminar — “Renovate Your Reality” — will be presented by Remi Gibbs, who is a life coach, positive practitioner and a published author. The event is geared toward women, especially those who need a bit of restructuring in their life. More so, a bit of guidance and help with self-discovery.

“You’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to gently start making changes that bring more peace, purpose, and joy into your daily life,” the theater said in a release. “This session will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to take your next step — whatever that looks like for you.”

The release said that Gibbs’ purpose is to help people live their best lives and also assist women connect with their strengths and more. All for the purpose of helping them live a better life, with an improved well-being.

In addition, she will speak at the end of the seminar to discussed how her published book came to be.

The seminar is set for Saturday from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Pharr Community Theater. The theater is located at 213. W. Park Ave.

Tickets are $15 in advance — with a small surcharge. However, they will be $20 at the door. Seating will be limited to 50 people.

The Auditions

On May 20 and 21, the PCT will host open auditions for their dramatic comedy — “Singular Strike/Una Huelga Singular” by José Manuel Álvarez.

It will be a two-act play and it is entirely in Spanish — so actors must be fluent in the language in order to be cast.

The theater is looking for:

• Four women and three men between the ages of 30 and 70

• Two teens — one boy and girl — between the ages of 13 and 17

The auditions will also be at the theater, and they are set to be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

According to a release by the theater, the play revolves around a mother and wife who wish to end “domestic” and “verbal” abuse in her home. As a result, she decides to stage a strike.
